IN A WAGON.
How a Circus Man Slept During i
Season's Traveling.
"I slept in a "wagon all summer,1
said Dolph Gessley, the well-known
ticket seller of the Robinson Circus
which has made Its seventy-flfth an
Dual season of travel. Yes, sir, in
wagon. The rest of the show people
Blent in regular sleeping cars. Now
you would think they had the best ot
It, wouldn't you? Dut they aian t.
My bed was made up in the wagon
in which I sold tickets. Along th
slfTfcs o( it are benches. I had a cot
bed from which the lees were re
moved. The benches had lids, and
inside were boxes where the tickets
and other stuff necessary were kept
in one compartment I had the bed
ding, in another towels and other
toilet esentlals. After the count up at
night I pulled down the cot top, got
out my sheets and blankets and made
tip my bed. Then I turned in, after
folding up my clothes. The ticket
wr Eon is a finely constructed affair,
with platform springs, and rides likes
a fashionable carriage. The "razor
backs," or common laborers with the
show, would, when tho time came to
pntrnin. rim the wacon onto a flat
rar nnri rhnrlr tha whf.plfl RfHMirplv
The car has super-springs, and rides
like a passenger coach. The cot top
was laid across the aisle, of which
the benches formed the sides, so there
were three places to take up the mo
tion the car springs, the wagon
Bprings and the elastic cot webbing,
I was as snuga as a bug In a rug. Ily
leaving the windows in the rear open
I got a fine breeze, and in the hottest
nights was cool and comfortable,
Many a morning I woke up to find the
wagon on the circus lots miles from
the depot. I slept so soundly that
never felt the wagon being detrained
or driven uptown. Then my wagon
men would bring up water and my
toilet was a matter of only a moment
or two. Bathing? Why a man with
circus can bath every day in the
dressing tent. The folks in the sleep
ing car had many discomforts. Any
body that has traveled in a crowded
Pullman car appreciates this fact. All
want to go to bed at the same tim
and get up together. The aisles are
crowded with clothing and Impedi
ments, and then there Is the snorin
and talking that Is inevitable. Oh
tell you, I was comfortable. Some of
the razor-backs had a novel way
bunking (or the night. They slept 1
hammocks, which were slung unde
the wagons from axle to axle. I never
tried it, but those who did tell me
that it is exceedingly comfortabl
lots of fresh air, you know. Curious
ly enough, they didn't get wet, an
the cinders don't fly under the wa
ons. On dusty nights they get a littl
of loose Mother F.earth, but not
much as you would think. Nothing
could Induce me to change my Gess
ley palace sleeping car, as I called my
wagon bed, for one of Pullman's make.
I have privacy, room and comfort, and
no sleeping car can boast of this
triple advantage." Exchange.

FEATHER DE09 AGAIN.
hange In the Science and Practice of
Bed Making.
The sclr-nce snd practice of bed
making has undergone a radical
change In the pant few years. In new
ly clone-over and decorated honnps.
nothing could be more Imprpsslve,
ore luxurious and more radical In Its
parture from the hitherto accepted
laws of hygiene than the new beds.
1 he model just now In tho houses
here antique mahogany completely
wepps evprything before It is the
eorelan bed. Three could sleep,
Ith an abundance of stretching room, !
in tne area inciosea oy tne iour mas
sive carved posts of one of these big
couches and three Distresses are re-
ulred to bring the slepplng platform
to the required height. One Is of
hair, one of cotton, and in winter on
op of thpse repose a mighty tick
tuffed full of the best white goose
feathprs. When these requirements
re fulfilled the full-fledged Georgian
ed Is dressed with great attention to
etall and elpgance. Old brocade
edged with bullion fringe Is used for
the hangings and counterpane that
weeps the floor, and the coat of arms
of the owner Is carved on the head
hoard of the couch.
It Is not everybody who can lay
ands on a genuine carved Georgian
bed or dress It In antique brocade,
hut even with the modern brass and
lion hPd, curtnlns about the head and
big feather-stuffed mattresses for win
ter use are no longer a mere fashion,
but are a general custom. For half a
century the feather bed has been look
ed upon very coldly by Experts In hy
giene, but recently, both with regard
to the hangings and the feather mat
tress, a change of heart has come.
nd delicate, nervous, neuralgic, rheu-
mntlc women, and particularly elder
ly persons, and those afflicted with in
somnia has been recommended to
takp the feather bed cure in the win
ter. Queen Victoria Is one of the shin
ing proofs of the efficacy of the feather
bed. for where she goes a big tick full
of feathers, In Its leather traveling
Jacket, goes too, and always the cur
tains are drawn about the head of
the bed to shut oft any draughts.
Queen Victoria and her doctors be
lieve that the proper way to sleep in
winter Is in a cold room luxuriously
lapped In a nest of feathers that pre
serve all the heat of the body and
necessitates In the coldest weather a
covering of only one pair of blankets
and a down quilt, the modern bed.
so called hygienic, requires more
heavy covering than a pair of tired
shoulders can stand, and a hair mat
tress constantly dissipates the human
heat Instead of conserving It, besides
drawing away that priceless force.
human electricity; at least this Is
what advocates of the feather bed sny.
All this drain the feathers prevent,
the easily yielding surface they pre
sent permits perfect relaxation of the
muscles that can never be gained on a
bed of even the best hair. With the
coming of the eighteenth century type
of Knglish bed the feather mattress
was Introduced, and now there are
numbers of women who have not only
learned their virtues, but, like the
Queen of England, travel about with
their beds done up In leather cases,
some of the rheumatics and sufferers
from cold feet have pronounced them
selves free from their afflictions when
luxuriating among the feathers.
Feather beds are coming into use
as well In nurseries, and though for
children the Georgia four-poster is
not yet the fashion, the gayest beds
are made to chime in with the schemes
of nursery decoration. Charmingly
carved and painted wooden beds are
newly Introduced. else they have brass
or sometimes silver let Into the dark
wood in appropriate scenes and In
scriptions. On the headboard of a
light maple bed. Tor example will be
painted a night scene of clouds across
the moon and a flight of owls; on the
footboard a line of caroling cocks
greeting the sun typifies morning.

"Silencing a Gun."
There Is a great deal of ignorance
as to what "silencing a gun" means.
A gun is silenced when tho gunners
are disabled or driven back and the
gun or guncarriage damaged. It Is
a common enough phenomenon for
weapons which have thus been sil
enced to re-open fire after repairs
have been made, the gunners rallied
or a fresh crew obtained. It is a rare
thing for a gun to be so damaged by
hostile Are that it cannot be refitted
and brought into action again. "1
saw," says Prince Kraft, of the Ger
man artillery, In the battle of Grave
lotto, "many guns during the cannon
ade lying miserably on the ground
'winged,' that Is, with a broken wheel.
But not one was withdrawn; the In
jured guns were always quickly re
paired with the help of the wagons
which were near, so that after the
battle I could not tell exactly how
many pieces had been temporarily
out of action." The Navy League
Journal of London says this expert
opinion should put a stop to Ignorant
witticisms on the frequent silencing
at Ladysmlth of "Long Tom," as the
biggest of the Boer guns was called.
The navy had day after day to look
after this weapon and dose it with
lyddite shells, but on each occasion
the work was skillfully done. Army
